When I was young, in high school, my boyfriend used to take me to the Fremont Drag Strip and we would watch the grudge races. Believe it or not he would race his VW Beetle! I also enjoyed the special shows with dragsters and funny cars. Blown Hell, seen below, is a 55' Chevy with an altered wheel base that we used to see race at the drag strip. I painted it some 25 years later. My admiration for fine vehicles began at an early age and continues still!
